St Michael

This beautiful church was consecrated on 5th May 1863 and is a fine example of the work of Louth Architect, James Fowler (1828 - 1892). He was a prolific architect and restorer of Lincolnshire churches and became reputed for worshipping in the Anglo-Catholic tradition,and over 150 years later the church continues to hold dear this traditional, yet inclusive form of worship.
